I am not a fan of msnbc not because I am a conservative but because I believe in following truth. Thus I do from time to time listen in as well as all of us should do. lawrence O"donnel has an interesting commentary on the word thug being used by reporters as a means to vent their racist views on blacks. WOW, I dint think of it but it does has some legs to it in the Black community so I think we need to discuss it. Especially since he points out it is primarily white reporters doing it and he picks on the irish ones. Isn't Odonnel Irish?

Every weekday we answer client complaints on The Daily Complaint to provide direction and resources for both the person complaining as well as other consumers experiencing similar issues whether it be mortgage fraud, loan servicing escrow issues, loan modification runarounds or denials, short sale refusals, deed in lieu negotiations and credit card debt collector abuses and fraud violations.

I routinely look for posts to answer in hopes that it will not only bring optimism to those homeowners and borrowers in distress but also some basic information to assist in fighting the banks that are "too big to fail" like Bank of America and Citi but yet don't appreciate the bailout that we provided in their time of need. The debt collectors like Ocwen and Nationstar are simply just piranhas but they can be beat at their own game too just like the big banks can be defeated.

We are committed to answering consumer complaints and addressing everyday credit and debt issues on The Daily Complaint and I thank you for your continued support!

Rumors have been rife for years about Troy Aikman being gay, which he has long denied, most recently this month. And when Aaron Rodgers had a falling out with his longtime roommate, the speculation was that they were gay lovers, which Rodgers denied. The ex-roommate made news again when he mocked the Green Bay Packers losing in the playoffs. Were his remarks fair game for the media or was it nothing more than gossip. The fine line in reporting gay rumors of athletes.

Hr1 David Bego, author of Devil at Our Doorstep, talks about unions, SEIU, cardcheck, right to work, immigration, and what all that has to do with the recent racial divide and riots in Ferguson, Baltimore, and New York.

Hr2 Boy Scouts say don't teach little boys how to fire water guns, it might teach them... what?! How about you could teach them to respect life, and gun safety? It's about values, not weapons.

Corey Duncan, Baltimore correspondent joins Joe to talk about what's REALLY going on over there now that things are supposedly simmered down. City government has turned their backs on law enforcement. The new Attorney General leaves much to be desired. And Michelle Obama is an angry black woman.

Have you had your healthy dose of reality lately?

There are always at least two sides to every story. Have you ever wondered how someone, who saw the same thing you did, walked away telling a vastly different story? Which version was correct? Which one was the REAL story? Actually, both are! It’s just a matter of perspective.

Joe takes the issues… especially the controversial issues (politics, prejudice, religion, illegal immigration)… and brings in people from different sides to share their viewpoint. This is definitely not a fluff piece. And while no one is attacked, the questions are hard-hitting.

But the conversation is always respectful and you’re sure to learn something new, even if you don’t agree!

If you’ve always wondered how the “other side” thinks and how they’ve arrived at their “stand”, then this is the show for you!

It’s not the right side, it’s not the wrong side, but the REAL side of the issues!
